一名悉尼妇女承认将她已故母亲的遗产中的114万美元转至个人账户,用于生活费用、赌博、馈赠和法律费用,之后,她面临潜在的刑事指控。
A Sydney woman faces potential criminal charges after admitting to diverting $1.14 million from her late mother’s estate—intended for her three brothers—into personal accounts for living expenses, gambling, gifts, and legal fees.
虽然一项2021年的法庭裁决裁定兄弟们集体赔偿190万美元,但她误用了大约90%的资金,只剩下170 000美元可供分配。
Though a 2021 court settlement awarded the brothers $1.9 million collectively, she misapplied about 90% of the funds, leaving only $170,000 for distribution.

The judge found she knowingly acted wrongfully, acknowledging she took the money “because I wanted it,” not out of need.
她作为地产管理人的角色因缺乏替代资金而终止,案件已提交新南威尔士州总检察长起诉,并转交法律协会审查监督改革,以防止今后发生滥用情况。
Her role as estate administrator was terminated due to lack of funds for a replacement, and the case has been referred to the NSW Attorney-General for prosecution and the Law Society for review of oversight reforms to prevent future misuse.
